Import Tips
• Verify wood species origin documentation to avoid misclassification under coniferous vs non-coniferous wood headings
• Include detailed photos and material breakdowns in entry docs to confirm 'wood blinds' status over general wood articles
• Check for hardware content; if metal exceeds incidental, may require separate Chapter 83 classification
